[PROBLEM] Newest Sprint RUU

I recently installed the Official Sprint RUU 2.1 Eclair and when I goto use the Speech-to-Text feature on the keyboard it was no where to be found. The programs installed but i cant find the microphone button.
Also, was FriendStream included with the Sprint RUU cause i dont have that showing up either.

Doesn't belong in dev.

The official release is out for sprint today via htc website.But note that no one has been able to root their phone with the leaked ruu release or the official release as of yet!!!!

There are a couple rooted roms from the leaked ruu. Damagecontrol has a rooted version.

Damage took the leaked (now Released) RUU and basically ripped out the pieces that would cause your phone to be unrooted and then packaged it back together so users could flash it without losing their root access. (Thank you Damage!)
There are no true complete "rooted RUU" or "rooted ROMs" based on the leaked (now Released) RUU. The hboot in the new RUU is newer and an expoit has not been built yet. There are ROMs using pieces (framework, apps, etc.) from the leaked RUU.

Speach-to-Text keyboard feature was not included with the release. "Problem" by design.

How did this turn into a root discussion? The speech to text button is not on the stock htc kb gotta get the modded hda kb
edit: xda kb sorry, was on phone

that sucks! the speech to text is awesome. can that be installed on a non-rooted 2.1 hero?

You should be able to just push the .apk via Astro or Estrongs File Explorer.

K, thought so. could also just buy smart keyboard. i know that has voice input for 2.0 or higher
dumb ?, where do i get the hda .apk? i searched this site & coudln't find it.

So where is damages version?
This is the version that was released a few days ago, but now its officially released and we were having issues being rooted on it, right? But damage got it to root, so we can flash this over 2.1 roms now, right?

Damage didn't root anything. What he did was extract the update.zip for flashing and made sure superuser worked.
When you flash damage's or any other zip file based ROM for that matter, you aren't doing anything to modify your phone's hboot or recovery partitions.
the 2.1 RUU is a whole package. When you execute it it wipes all of your partitions. Recovery and HBoot included. This removes Root and the ability to use a custom recovery. 2.1 hasn't been exploited yet. PERIOD.

Can't Flash Another ROM
I threw on the Sprint official ROM and now I can't flash back to another ROM. I can't get into recovery mode (pretty picture of a Hero with a red "!").
Any help?

Doesn't mean we have the same exploits.
Good example. Hero and Eris ran very similar code (Cupcake version 1.5). We had ours rooted in about a month after release. The Eris had the vulnerability that allowed the Hero to root patched...their root is based on a completely different exploit and took much longer to root.

Can you use the 1.5 RUU? I don't know if that's possible.

Easiest way to root

The .6 build? I'm a little confused over the different methods i've seen on here... someone point me in the right direction i'll buy you a cookie

im kinda if your shoes too buddy. well the first thing you do is you have to downgrade to .5 version cause the .6 cant be rooted so you need the ruu to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661057
so just run that and yes make sure you back up your phone.
then you have follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
i tried to do this guide and i got to the point where im in the recovery and i flash the zip and then reboot and just get stuck on the htc boot screen so after that i dont know what to do.
so i just stuck with the special permissions and the unevoked apk. and it is still root but i cant get roms which sucks cause i want live wallpapers.

Sent from my fresh hero.

see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7701291&postcount=36
includes a qr code to download the universal androot app. couldn't be easier. just install the app and click root. then load a recovery by either using rom manager or open a terminal and do the usual flash_image recovery method.

Offical ota link

any different than the one that was just leaked??

i want to install this but i need to find the STOCK Incredible recovery image first. i've been using search to locate it and i can't seem to find it. could anyone point me in the right direction?

Not hard enough
The number of threads that come up when searching for stock recovery is fairly excessive.
Regardless, I hate when people simply state that and don't answer, so here is one of many threads on the topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756850&highlight=stock+recovery

This takes you back to stock everything. Just like it was fresh out of the box for me. Only I have s-off so now I just have to decide so I want to wait or do I want to flash that update.
Helps to add the link huh? DOH!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757927

Has anyone installed the update with s-off? I did it just a bit ago and can't get back to root. Unrevoked's site says just install a custom recovery and then you will have root back. I've installed clockwork mod and superuser and busy box, but busy box still says I'm not rooted. Titanium still won't run either. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] How to return to stock?

Rooted and running CM 6.1.0, have backed up 1.21 firmware, what is the easiest way to unroot and return to stock? (remove CWM also). Need to send the phone in for button repair. If I apply OTA update on the 1.21 firmware (updating to 2.2) will it wipe everything clean?
Thanks in advance

uhh im not too sure anymore but i think the best way to do it would be to apply an older stock rooted rom and then plug your phone into a comp with htc sync, and then do the update thing thats it got on there.. thats the way i was told a while back but im not sure if theres an easier/better way to do it. probably should wait till someone else comments before you go do anything but yeah youre meant to do something like that ^ i believe..

From my own experience, the technicians doesn't know if its stock, cm or what. They fix the problem and that's it.
I've sent my device twice with cm on it and there was no problem
Sent from my Legend

Thanks for the replies although I would be happy to send it in with CM and whatnot, as it is not mine I do not even want to take the risk. Can anyone confirm that installing the latest vodafone firmware will restore phone to stock?

basically run a htc update on it (if you haven't S-OFFed then 2.1 is fine)
Search isn't working now so I can't link you, but either way find an offical RUU and it will do everything for you. Remember if you do update it to froyo (official) it is a difference process to root again (but still possible)

Or else.. search the forum.. I made a thread called "easiest way to unroot".. or something like that.. Always use the SEARCH feature before asking questions..

It's time for the younglings my friend

method 1 (preferred)
you can leave the LEGEIMG.zip to the root of your goldcard and go to boot loader and let it load and you confirm the update. i suggest using the same one that you use for the downgrade.
if, you don't have it download Legend rooting tools, extract the zip. locate testimage.zip... copy it to your goldcard and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip. (make sure you dont ended up renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip.zip if you know what i mean lol)
method 2 (goldcard not needed)
For the past few days i've been playing around with official RUU. and heres what i've done so far on testing the official RUUs from HTC (link from stickies)... it'll turn your Legend to stock.... even if your on CM7 or any other roms....
But... if you have an HBOOT of less than 1.00... be warn. RUU with Froyo will update it and there's no known method to downgrade. unless you dont care about it and thinks its about time you update it and you have intention on doing the S-OFF...

Help! no reovery

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Dream to a version of And 2.2, after flashing my phone was boot looping, so re reflashed to rc29 using xda's return to stock guide. It boots fine now in normal mode, but now I can't get into recovery and I cant get anything to flash, not even rc29 again. If I try flashing using the phone I get Model ID incorrect, with fastboot I get remote: not allow. Very few threads mention HBOOT 1.33.0014, maybe its the problem? Any help would be appreciated

Forgot to mention, its Rogers but I don't have a sim card

Use the telnet method to flash a new recovery, in the future if you ever get stuck and have to flash the orange.nbh not the dreaimg.nbh

I tried reflashing with orange also, same message, though I didn't try with telnet because I couldn't get it connected to localhost.
typed telnetd at home screen
started telnet when I click connect
I get either server refused

you should make a gold card (just goole it)
or well can you update via ota, under settings look for updates, if you can get to 1.5 then you can use androot or maybe see if THIS GUIDE helps.
ive only rooted one rogers branded g1, and you dont do the dreaimg.nbh method rather
LIKE SO but at this point you need to move on, try some of the above stuff

ok went searching for update in settings and noticed firmware is at 1.5 , I didn't think it could update automatically without a sim? so I'm guessing DREAIMG.nbh didn't take? Just messed my recovery? I installed Androot and it says I'm "already rooted, root again?" The first guide you pointed to THIS GUIDE says for "Tmobile G1 only", should I go ahead anyway? The last one LIKE SO , I would like to try the rogers_1.89.631.1.nbh but it seems to have disappeared from the net. I'll look into the gold card idea this weekend. Thx for your input :good:

Well made a gold card, but got a message "main version is older" when I tried to update the image, I think the problem is finding the right image file. I thought Gold cards got around that? I guess I'll just use 1.5, doesn't have everything I want, but its working at least. thx for the help just the same

The gold card didn't take, may need to use a different sd.
But did you say you have root? Do you have a custom recovery? Maybe you can go about this in a different way, can you post everything on your bootloader screen?

I read your post to m3talmouth:
Find amonra recovery in xda, latest is 1.7 something
Put on root of sd card and name it recovery.img
Open a terminal and type
su
If you see a # procees
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you have an error it could be you need to add the flash image bianary or you have a bad download or named it wrong,
I figured It might work for me, now I have AmonRA recovery 1.7 :good:
So now following the guide you posted earlier http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Dream/Rooting_Branded_EBI1s, I should install the engineering SPL, then the EB1 port file, then flash cm 6.1.zip?

Hey good! Well if you have a custom recovery you are most of the way there, now remember you have a rogers dream and need tgo flash the proper radio and spl, make sure they are listed for your phone, check md5sums, flash radio first then spl then id recomend cm5 (faster) flash rom and gapps
Do this right, just the other day someone flashed either spl first or a curropt image and got a brick. Only warning so you don't but as long as you do what I said above you'll be safe

Well...I i did a nandroid backup, tried i now have the eng SPL installed, tried the CM 6.1 as it was easier to find for my phone + the port file, but it stuck at rogers boot screen. I've seen some posts for 2708 kernel but it never mentions this in any of the install guides. I have found CM 5 roms but only with the 2708 kernel and no mention of rogers, so I'm staying clear of those for the moment. Will search some more for CM 5, its not Android 2.2 though is it?

Cm5 is 2.1 but smoother than cm6 on these phones. You can flash the one in cm wiki just flash the right kernel on top of it. If you want to do the 2708+ update (I say a good idea) then just follow ezterrys instruction in his thread. Download radio and SPL, check md5sums, and then flash via fastboot. Now they can also be flashed in recovery but I don't recommend it. After that you can flash any of the newer ROMs and it won't mater that your phone was once rogers. But older ROMs (mostly eclair and older) will need a different kernel flashed on top of them

Success!!!!! I have CM 5.08 + 2708 installed and working, thx for everything, will try this mod for a while to see if it covers all I need, if so I'm good to go. :laugh: :good:

Awesome! You may need to move to froyo if apps you need aren't avalible on 2.1, there are many good aosp and cm variants just straight cm6 is kinda poor on these phones, try a few out, make nandroids so you can change back easy, there are about a dozen 2.3 and 2.2 roms that I feel run great on the dream and I personally keep a back up of each for a quick change

Do not forget that your phone is no longer EBI1.
You will no longer need to flash EBI1 ports.
On a side note, looks like you somehow got the 1.33.0014 update.
1.33.0014 is a bootloader released by HTC somewhere last year for HTC Dream. They claimed it was unlockable, and you could flash with it. I did the unlock process, and I can promise you that HTC duped us. It's not unlockable. The unlock does absolutely nothing other than change the text at the top. I even had someone reverse some of the code, and they claimed the code for doing fastboot flash doesn't seem to be there.

yeah the .0014 official unlocked bootloader is a crock, when it first came out i was about to test it and someone else here tried first, turned into a nightmare for him so i tell all to stay away! some phones it actually isnt too bad if better ways like hacked bootloaders or radio s-off has been found for it, but its a pain and you usually need to flash a rom in recovery, extract the kernel from the .zip and then flash the kernel through fastboot.
so yeah any phone that you dont need this option, stay far away from it!
